Snowshoe Safety: Keeping your family safe during snowshoeing trips

Snowshoeing is a great sport for nearly anyone looking to get some winter recreation in. It's easy to get into, does not require too much special equipment, and can be enjoyed by all ages and experience levels.

However, with snowshoeing there are a few items one should consider before going out for a walk. Canadian winters especially, get quite cold and gusts of cold wind or puddles of slush can turn a fun snowshoeing day into a sour one.

Getting the right sized snowshoe

The right sized snowshoe is one of the key factors in what will make your trip enjoyable or an unexpected tough walk. When picking your size of snowshoe, your weight as well as the weight of the gear and clothing you plan to wear is ideal for measure. We provide a sizing chart that makes it quite easy to figure out what snowshoe will work best for you. Most winter gear and clothing will add about 10-15lbs so you can easily work from that.

Dressing appropriately
  1. First, make sure you know how cold it's going to be! Turn on the weather forecast and get an overview for the day.
  2. Bundle up accordingly to the weather. Water or wind resistant gear is great to wear as an outer layer while wearing a thicker jacket and pants underneath for extra warmth. 
  3. Wear wool socks and a nice pair of boots to keep your foot warm. Insulated boots are usually the best but a good pair of thick socks does wonders.
  4. Get a hat with earflaps or one that covers your ears as well. About 40 percent of heat loss comes from your head.
  5. Put on a pair of gloves that are water resistant. Many snowshoes, including our Bigfoot Snowshoes have ratchet-style bindings making it easy to put the snowshoe on even with gloves. The water resistance will help when you want to remove your snowshoes, as they will become wet with melted snow.

Bring some water, snacks

Since snowshoeing is an aerobic activity you may sweat and get hungry. Although you are in cold weather and it may not feel like you need water, it's a good idea to bring. Personally, I enjoy bringing a mug of hot tea with lemon and sugar. The tea warms you up and the lemon and sugar combination will fill your body with more electrolytes. For snacks, the most popular is granola in any form. You can buy some bars from the super market or simply make your own and bag it. It's full of nutrients and energy that's totally good for you!

Stay in a group

Although snowshoeing is a very peaceful activity, it's still recommended to go with someone. Winter can be tough with large hills of snow, gusts of wind, or small streams of water where you're not sure how thick the ice is. Go with your family or a group of friends and stick together. Bring a cellphone and place it in a water-proof backpack so that if you lose touch you can easily get back with each other.

Most of all, have fun!

Snowshoeing is a great sport for anyone and of all ages. If you haven't tried it yet, we recommend you check out our Bigfoot Snowshoes and take a browse around. We'll be happy to help you with any questions you may have!

Why Should You Buy A Gas Snowblower ?

Here are 5 good reasons:

1. Save Money Year After Year
It is cheaper than using a snow removal service. Assuming $30 a time for a service
to do your driveway and 3 times a week for 10 weeks, means $900/year for a service. You can
buy a 7HP gas for under $1000 !  

2. No Muscle Aches or Back Pain
Did shovelling cause you back pain last year. Well, say good-bye to it with
a 2-stage self-propelled gas snow blower.

3. Love Those Big Snowstorms
Bring on the snow. The deep drifts, the heavy wet snow or those pesky piles from the
city plows are no longer a problem.  Start up your snow blower and it will eat through the snow !

4. Be A Good Samaritan
It is easy to help out your neighbours. Once you've done your own snow, lend
a hand to a neighbour.

5. More Time With Family/Friends/Fun Things
You'll get that pesky job of clearing snow done faster and with less energy, so
you'll have more time indoors with family.friends in front of your comfy
Dimplex fireplace or you'll have more time to go snowshoeing with your Bigfoot
snowshoes.

How do I Decrease the PH in my Softub Hot Tub? You Slug the Tub!

When my wife and I bought our first Softub several years ago, we did the same as most new Softub and hot tub owners do and try to figure out what chemicals we will need to use to keep our hot tub clean.

Since that time, we have now become Softub dealers since we enjoyed ours so much and the number one question we get from Softub customers and acrylic hot tub owners is: “How to I reduce the PH in my hot tub?”

Normally, you can use a product called PH Decreaser, we recommend OMNI PH Decreaser as the balance of chemicals OMNI uses is very consistent.  The instructions will be on the bottle and it will basically tell you to add 1-2 capfulls of PH Decreaser every 3-4 hours until the PH comes down.

In our area of Kitchener / Waterloo, the water PH seems to be very high, off the charts of the hot tub test strips.  So here is a trick on how to reduce your PH if it is very high and you are finding it frustrating using the normal method.

1.       This is called, Slugging the Tub / Slug your Tub / or Slug the Tub

2.       Turn down your Softub hot tub so that the jets are not running and leave it this way for half an hour so the water is completely still.

3.       Fill a cup of water half way and add 5-6 capfulls of PH decreaser to the glass.

4.       Stir the PH decreaser in so it dissolves as much as you can.

5.       Pour the liquid in 3-4 spots around your tub, be sure not to touch the liquid or get any on the sides of your tub as it is acidic.

6.       Wait 30 minutes or so and use another test strip to test your water.

7.       If you need to decrease your PH even further, repeat this process after 3-4 hours.

8.       If you have any questions, just let us know as we are happy to help!

When filling your Ice Maker, be sure to fill it to near the "Max" line; this will ensure enough water is available to pump through the maker. However, be careful not to fill your Ice Maker past the "Max" line, as it may interfere with its operation.


Step #5: Select Your Desired Ice Size

To begin making ice, simply push your Ice Maker's power button one more time. One of the lights above the ice symbols should light up, indicating the currently selected ice size. From here, selecting your desires ice size is as easy as pushing the button.

Why buy an eBike (Electric Bike)?

If you've ever been pondering buy an e-bike, here are 5 good reasons to own one:

1. Low Purchase Price
You can buy a good quality e-Bike in the $999 to $1499 range. This is less than the depreciation on a car the first day you own it. Or, about the same as 4 new tires/rims and a tune-up for that older car. With the money you save, you can buy Bigfoot snowshoes for the winter and be active all year.

2.Low Ongoing Maintenance
Pump the tires, shine it up and charge the battery (pennies a day). Compare this to gas, oil, insurance and repairs on a car ( I don't want to know how much that comes to !)

3. No Legal Hassles
As long as you're age 16 or older, you can drive one without a drivers licence, no lience plates and no expensive auto insurance. 

4. Environmentally Friendly
No worries when it comes to greenhouse gases. No emissions. No pollution.  

5. They Are Fun To Ride
They go anywhere, park anywhere, easy to store and fun to ride. Riding one will put a smile on your face !  Your friends will want to join you for casual, easy-going rides !

Why Buy an Electric Fireplace Vs. a Gas Fireplace?

Here are 6 reasons why an electric fireplace is a great product:

1. Intitial Cost
Rather than spending thousands to get a gas fireplace installed along with all the venting or having a chimney built for a wood-burning fireplace, a free standing Compact electric costs under $200 !

2. You'll Use It More
No hassles of buying, chopping and storing the wood. While a flip of the swich turns on a gas fireplace, you always have the heat from it. The electric model allows you to have just the flames or the flames and the heat.

3. It's Moveable
That's right. Just unplug it and take it to a different room.Just take it to the room where you want to play games with Lego sets or Carrera slot cars. Can't do that with a gas or wood-burning firpleace.

4.Ongoing Cost
The electric will cost you 6-8 cents an hour vs the high cost of wood or gas. You'll save enough, so that popcorn from your Cuisinart Popcorn Maker tastes even better !

5. Fits anywhere
Since they are smaller and don't need an special venting, insulation or a  chimney, you can use it anywhere in the room you want !  Under that drafty window, or against the wall.

6. Keeps You and Your Family/Friends Warm On Cold Nights
It will provide heat to your family room, recreation room, kitchen etc. as it heats 400 sq feet for only pennies an hour. No more cold spots on those chilly nights.

Installing the Glass/Mirror For DFB4047 Dimplex 23" Fireplace with Trim

Installing the glass for this Dimplex unit is very simple and only takes a few steps!

  • When you receive the 23’’ fireplace take all of the bubble wrap out of the box and remove the fireplace.
  • Unscrew the grill that is in front of the logs (Screws are located at the sides)
  • Take the mirror (smaller of the two glasses) and insert it into the fireplace at the back. You will have to unscrew the two side screws (On the outside of the fireplace) on both sides in order to get the bracket to lower. The top goes in first and then the bottom lays on the bracket on the bottom
  • The log set goes in next and just sits in place
  • The front grill is next and there are two screws that are holding it, just screw them in.
  • Once the grill set is in, the glass goes in the front with two black clips screwed in at the bottom of the glass.
It's that simple! If you have any questions, simply call WeSellit and we can help you out.
